The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) solicited comments on a temporary rule that delayed by 1 year (from January 1, 2018 until January 1, 2019) the requirement that the statement "Tax class 5041(b)(6)" appear on the container of any wine for which the hard cider tax rate is claimed when the product is removed from wine premises or customs custody. In addition, TTB reopened the comment period for its proposal for additional hard cider-related regulatory amendments to implement the changes made to the definition of "hard cider” in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) of 2015. Further, TTB published a temporary rule amending its wine regulations to implement changes made to the definition of "hard cider" in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by the PATH Act. Through a concurrent notice of proposed rulemaking, TTB solicited public comments on the temporary regulatory amendments.
